Wow, Susan edited Roody Poo? That's a bit excessive.

EDIT - given the whole thing was practically an homage to the Rock

Well apparently to some saying Roody Poo = Calling everyone a ****** :rolleyes:

So maybe she was right

p.s. i also just realized Susan also edited out the "candy" from "candy asses", granted she admitted she didn't know who the Rock was so she is forgiven :p

No. The n word would absolutely not be allowed.

See The Urban Dictionary, definitions 2 and 3 mark this as a racist slur, and an attempt to circumvent censoring of the n word. I would say this is a learning moment, eh?

Interesting ... I stand corrected. Who woulda' thought the Rock was using terms pushing into the racist world :eek:

Anyhoo, now I know.

The rock wasn't pushing to the racist world. Look at the urban dictionary, the most voted definition, so the one most people agree with, is not the racist one.

p.s. Just to make a thing clear on how Urban dic works, not all definitions are correct, you can provide your own definition of the word which will then be voted up or down by the site users. The ****** definition of roody poo gained strength a couple years ago on 4chan when they made it a filter for ****** (it is explained on one of the definitions) and since 4chan users make up for a large part of the urban dic community, it got voted up. Like i said the rock used roody poo under the first definition, which is still an insult mind you, but was used by me in jest since the rock catchphrases had been used the same day that thread was created on this very thread.

So Ripper you can hate on me all you want, but the Rock is not at fault here :p

Actually my bad. Thought the term was exactly the same in terms of meaning and offence as the n word. Only ever seen it on 4chan. I'll do more research before my next rant. Apologies Parrulo + Susan.

Yeah, but there isn't enough discussion on Velorooms.

Well there isn't enough trolling and bating, meaning people only contribute in an intelligent manner, so yes, less posts.

I like it there, the race day chatrooms are ace. But anyway. What's that got to do with the moderators here?

There is a lot of discussion in the chat and racechats. basically the things we have 10,000 threads for get discussed in the chatbox.

Yeah, but I prefer it when discussion adds to ones post count. ;) I prefer having 10,000+ threads to post in (why I don't post there often).

And chatboxes make it impossible to keep track of a discussion if you are offline for a longer amount of time.

Anyway LaFlorecita keep your advertising to a minimum.

I don't see it as either or. The velorooms chatbox is just somewhere to kill some time with quick conversations, realtime chat that could be on anything really. Here threads set out very specific discussions.

Me as i like to fight in the trenches I love it here with no holds barred action and tensions always high with room for some great banter and humour from some top characters.

There its friendlier and you get to know people better. Both have their advantages.

Please stop the advertising (against forum rules IINM?)

Oh so I am not allowed to tell people there is a better alternative when they're fed up with this forum. :rolleyes:

well if you want to follow a discussion you should just not be online for a long time. A discussion normally lasts max 30 minutes. You can read it all back.

I wouldn't call it advertising btw.

Well that didn’t take long. 12 hours since your last Velosnooze fan club post.

We all know there are other forums. There’s no reason for you to go on and on about it.

Hugh asked about it and I was kind enough to give him some information. And note that it wasn't me who started about Velorooms the second time.

No, you can't advertise on this site without paying for it and i doubt the owners would allow you advertise alternatives to this place.

If you can't see the simple logic behind this then you are beyond any help. Just to inform you accounts that do unpaid/unauthorized advertisement are supposed to be perma banned. You have been given a freebie for a while but this is beyond ridiculous.

I am by no means making an ultimatum, i am just appealing to your common sense so think about it for a bit.

Well if that idiocy doesn't sum up CN moderation, what does? You don't agree with it so you better make it against a rule. With a nice touch about the member being beyond help and her actions beyond ridiculous, just to be a ***.

She's clearly not advertising - she has nothing to gain, she was simply restating another's point about another cycling forum. Uh oh, you better drift over to the bikes & gear section and stop those Campy fans from saying how much they love their Super Record. :eek: Blatant advertising and the owners want their cut! Flo's just saying that another forum may be to peoples' liking. It's not like she was repeatedly linking copyrighted WWE material into her posts.

Well if it was only comments like LaFlo's I'd say its no problem, but since the day they created that site they've been on here derailing/advertising/PM Spamming To Go Visit/ and what not to go over there. So I can see how this forum might just add that sites name to the banned word list (any mod listening?). If I were you I'd so a search on the 10 points in my sig, might clear things up for you, some of us take the grenade some run and hide.

Almost forgot, I still remember who the initial ship jumpers were and how they are now on here 24/7, the sign of truly good site :D

Some posters is not the whole site.

I agree that some posters take it too far sometimes. Cn forums and susan in particular have been more than kind in what they have allowed in that regard.

Oh and btw none of the people who run that forum with the exception of doping expert - larravist's occasional invaluable contributions to the clinic, make any appearances on here whatsoever.

And larry has never promoted the site here and nor has he done so with his own site for that matter.
